Thift Scores For Future Projects...

If you look on Etsy for pet beds there is a lovely variety.The upcycled ones from old suitcases have always struck my fancy.I decided to share this one from Vintage Renaissance because I am biased and they have a Bostie in the photo!

This is something I know I could fairly easily create myself.I have an old suitcase with a busted buckle that would be perfect for this project.Yesterday while I was on the vintage hunt I found perfect legs for it for $1.00!

Now the only problem is I have enough to make 1 dog an awesome bed but not the other so I think I'll wait till I have another suitcase at least before I start this project.Jealousy is the last thing I want to create between my pooches.The one I currently have would work for Ollie,Lug Nut will require a much larger suitcase to be comfortable.He's lost a good bit of weight since we rescued him but he's still a big ole Lug!

They're so cute I think!I hate when things are sloppy looking.I love my dogs and they're part of the family so there is no reason why they shouldn't have stylish beds.Its not as easy if you have large breed dogs,you're limited with what you can do.With small to medium though you can have something along the lines of this which I think are far more attractive than a big pillow with blankets in the corner or a crate.

Those beds are so cute! My cats are always sleeping in/on my vintage luggage. The only problem is I know as soon as I made luggage into an actual bed for them, they would choose to sleep in some random box instead

That is such a fantastic idea! Unfortunately our dog is a fussy old man and won't sleep in a dog basket. He has is own bean bag complete with a pink woollen blanket that he gets wrapped up in every night
